  ℱ𝓲𝓻𝓼𝓽 𝓨𝒆𝓪𝓻 ♛ 𝓤𝓷𝓼𝓸𝓻𝓽𝒆𝓭 ♛ 𝓟𝓾𝓻𝒆𝓫𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓭 Tessa was happily alone with her own thoughts, until a bow with blond hair moved to sit in her boat. Without asking! What a rude little whelp! She crossed her arms and harrumphed, clearly annoyed with the blond's very existence. Just when she was deciding that maybe it would be okay to let blondie stay, a girl with bright white hair joined in unannounced as well! Gah! She looked at the girl when she announced her name, then scoffed. "I'm Contessa." Her voice was passive, one or an airy feel... or so she hoped. {OoC:}

Rhys blinked as Gid asked about the squid in the lake, and covered his mouth to hide the silent chuckle. Gid had to be muggleborn or something, considering that he figured everyone knew about the squid in the lake. Well, unless he was in a family that let him discover things for himself. Rhys had been content reading everything he could get his hands on, and literally had to be pulled from the bookstore when his da and him had gotten his supplies. He wrote out a quick reply to Gid, feeling amused despite himself. "There is. It's always been in the lake, I think. I don't think it has any problems in freshwater. The salinity of the water must be just right for it, I think. I don't think it's evil, and from everything I've read, it seems friendly enough."
His amusement was short-lived, as he saw a girl come up and ask about joining them in their boat. He froze and stared at the girl, then scooted over more when Gid stated she could join them. He swallowed hard and tried to look invisible, which wasn't working really well at the moment. If nothing else, he was one of only two people in the boat, which meant he would be very hard to miss. Biting his lower lip, he hid behind his fringe and hoped she didn't try talking to him.

 Annabelle smiled as the blonde boy agreed to let her join them. He quickly apologized to his crutches and tried moving them out of the way. Belle grinned back at the boy grateful she wouldn't have to ride alone. "Thanks." She replied as she gingerly stepped into the boat. "Well you know if I do trip at least we have crutches for when I inevitably hurt myself." She shot the boy a small smirk hoping he caught her teasing. Then again she hoped he wouldn't be offended either. She sat down in the boat and turned to each boy introducing herself. "I'm Annabelle by the way."

The thought of a freaking squid just compounded how weird this whole day really was. Diagon Alley had been weird, but this? This was super weird. "So it's a weird, loner squid? What happened to it's squad? Is that what they're called? Squid squads? Eh. If it's friendly, I'm not gonna complain. The moment it turns into the Kracken, we've got some issues." His voice had it's usual lilt, one saying he was in a good mood. There were days it was gone, and those days usually weren't good. The girl seemed to tease over his crutches, and, for some reason, that made the blonde a bit unhappy. Usually, he didn't mind, but this time... "Too bad. They're mine. I quite like being able to move, you see?" He frowned, then sighed. With a glance to see Rhys' obvious discomfort, he figured he'd try to be nice, if only to prevent his friend's probable heart attack. "Sorry.. Name's Gideon. I'm usually not so... that." He sighed again, looking at Rhys for any words of wisdom. {OoC:}

The little red-haired girl stood a little ways from the rest of the group of first years, staring out over the waves. She could see the castle better from here, and it was absolutely magnificent. I wonder if I'll ever be able to explore it all, she thought to herself. She was pulled from her musings by a small voice next to her. Unstartled, Corinna turned to the girl next to her, who had raven hair and angled eyes. Corinna smiled warmly at her. "Yes, it is. My mum went to school here, and she told me some about it. Seems like a really neat place," Corinna turned to look again at the towers and turrets of Hogwarts Castle. A light breeze off the water tugged at her flyaway hair, and she brushed it behind her ear, nearly dislodging the pencil she'd forgotten she'd left there. A woman at the dock began giving intructions, and Corinna tuned an ear to her, still watching the dark waves lap at the posts of the dock. The woman told them to get into the boats, four to a boat. Corinna turned to the girl and asked, "Wanna get a boat together?" She headed for the dock and the boats, hoping to find one either unoccupied or with only two people, so she and her new acquaintance could sit together. Come to think of it, Corinna hadn't given the girl her name yet. Oops. OOC: Back on for the evening! Feel free to interact with her, anyone.

"Ah. It's first year here. My father said he went here when he was my age, but didn't speak of it much. I'm pretty scared and excited at the same time. Does that make sense?" Tamaki answered as the girl turned to her and answered her question. Her kind and bright demeanor helped bring up Tamaki's mood and self confidence a couple of steps. She returned the smile that the lovely orange haired girl had given to her before noticing as the breeze made a small mess of her curly hair. While she remained busy straightening her hair, Tamaki gazed up ahead of the group before noticing that they were about to walk onto the docks, the scent of salt wafting upwards into her nose.
While wondering if the boards here could even support their weight, Tamaki let out an audible gasp at the leader sinrtucting the students to get into a boat, four students in every water vessel. She panicked and looked all around for a group that had an empty spot on it that she could fill. Hearing the familiar voice of the girl from earlier ask if she wanted to share a boat together, she looked back and nodded. "O-Okay." Tamaki answered before looking around for an empty boat. There seemed to be a few left, which relieved that thought of the both of them being stranded here while they waited for another boat to come. At least, that was what Tamaki thought would happen. "There's an empty boat over there if you don't see one that's taken." She said, carefully stepping into the empty boat and ensuring it was sturdy and safe for her friend to hop in. Extending her hand, Tamaki smiled at her and awaited her to come aboard. "My name's Tamaki. Tamaki Cunningham. But most of my friends call me Tiki. Thanks for the warm welcome."

When we went off away from the forest-
We did travel far to get a taste of so much more.
We dug up the roots of all the stories...
Put them in a pot and brought them to a fiery roar!
We fed on these things without a worry;
Never gave a thought to the coming of the winter storm.
Gone away, gone away, what was yesterday?
Make a meal, make a bed, tuck your feet in-
And resting elbows twice on a table can be nice;
But the comforts, they can be deceiving.  ᶜ ʸ ᴿ ᵁ ˁ
ᴱ ᶻ ᴱ ᴷ ᴵ ᴱ ᴸ

Cy's welcome, while perhaps not 'warm', wasn't unfriendly or reluctant either. The other boy spoke casually, and he offered a hand to shake. Not shy, then, though maybe not a complete extrovert either. Cy knew how to adjust to the people around him; he thought of it like turning a dial in his head slightly this way or that. Older people? Act younger, be affectionate, be cute, make them want to look out for you. Younger people? Act older, be kind, be assertive, make them want to go along with whatever your goal was. People your own age? Follow their lead. Let them set the tone, fill in the cracks, and for the love of Merlin present yourself as nonthreatening as possible. Pity for a pushover was a lot better than resentment for a bully, and pity could warp into genuine sympathy. Resentment just simmered into hate. He shook Kai's hand with a slight smile. "Yep, Cyrus. I don't really like it; makes me sound like someone's grandfather, right? But that's what happens when your family recycles names every couple of generations." He rolled his eyes in a 'crazy purebloods, am I right?' sort of way. "You're lucky; Kai's good. Short and sweet." He was stopped from saying more by the appearance of a grinning girl; again, obviously, not very shy, not too nervous about rejection, or if she was, she was good at hiding it and he'd have to ask her for pointers at some point, and Kai's response was an affirmative, so he scooted over as well. "I don't mind at all. I'm Cy, he's Kai." Their names rhymed, he realized. Wasn't that just adorable. Now the seasons are not what they once seemed-
The berries all are green though the sun is at a fine high crest...
We lifted our shirts up in a hurry-
Reaching for the belly hollow from the long cold rest!
We slept off all the fat, but they'll be no more of that,
'Cause there must be some disease 'neath the canopy!
Swinging tails from trees, we can gather we need-
Give away what we had a fair share of...
And now the forks and knives with the sacrifice;
With a pair only some can believe in.

Lynn grinned and shook her head at her sister, waiting long enough for Jazzy to come up so that the three of them could get down to the lake. She was actually glad that it seemed that the whole thing was moving along, and she just hoped that it meant that they would soon be at the castle. "I just can't wait until we're sorted! I mean, I've been waiting for this since our dad came and gave me my letter, and well, we're here now. I just want to see where we actually go. He didn't give us a lot of information on what to expect, though."
They got to the boats and Lynn chose one to sit, already grabbing up the lantern as the older woman had asked. It was empty, but since there were three of them, she doubted that it would last long. "So, umm, does anyone know how the houses are? I don't. Zeph mentioned something about them, but it was a while ago and I can't remember it that well."

Corinna followed the girl to the docks. "Makes perfect sense," Corinna said assuredly, knowing it was close to how she felt, though she'd describe herself as much more excited than scared. The girl seemed kind, and though she certainly showed her fear, Corinna thought her bold nonetheless. It took real bravery to begin a conversation among strangers, after all. It was a blind step forward in putting yourself out and hoping for the best.
Corinna followed the girl to an empty boat, and watched as she stepped in carefully but with fair amount of ease. Corinna had only been on a boat once, and it was a very shaky experience. Corinna didn't like having to get in and out of boats. She was glad when the girl offered her hand, and took it while she awkwardly clambered in. Her equilibrium was having a fit; she hurriedly sat on the little bench before responding to the girl's introduction. "Thanks. Nice to meet you, Tiki. I'm Corinna Williams, though my parents and others usually call me Cori. And you're welcome; I see no point in being cold to anyone, unless they deserve it. Which, you don't," Corinna added hastily, groaning inwardly. Shut your mouth when you're ahead, she reminded herself. Corinna looked round, seeing the boats slowly filling up. She wondered what was next.

❀Take a deep breath girl ❀ dressed in her uniform.
❀Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors ❀ at platform 9 3/4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Minnie laughed at Jazzy expressing her energy of being cooped up but when she suggested swimming across the lake, Minnie shook her head and said, "I think it's a little late and a little cold to go swimming, Jazzy." When the were called to head to the boats, Minnie followed along with Lynn and Jazzy. She smiled as her sister said that she couldn't wait till they were sorted and the fact that their dad didn't give them a lot of information on the school, "Well, I mean he probably had a lot on his mind. And we aren't the only kids he picks up as a school governor. Personally, I'm more excited to start the classes. I mean they'll be nothing like I've ever done again. But just seeing the castle up close is enough for me... just look!" She stared at awe at the castle looming in the distance across the lake, a large smile on her face. Noting that Lynn was getting into a boat, Minnie quickly followed in after her sister, sort of glad that Lynn was the one who chose to take the lantern: it would give her more time to admire the beautiful architecture of the castle.
Once in the boat and settled down, Lynn began to mention about the houses and how she didn't remember a lot. Minnie was sure that they were given a fair amount or at least a brief introduction to them all by their dad and Zeph, but honestly, Minnie figured Lynn was like her and had far more important things to focus on that summer. "There are four, and don't you remember Zeph told us what house he was in," Minnie reminded. "Huddlepuff I think it was called." She shook her head, "I do remember what color is his house colors though. They are yellow and black. I had to buy the yarn for his scarf, you know." She smiled, "So the houses all have colors to represent themselves and then I think an animal too." She looked to Jazzy, "I guess I should have paid more attention, but the whole thing is a bit overwhelming you know."

spaceJasmine gave a dramatic groan at Minnie's assessment that now was not the time for a dip in the lake. "Oh, you're no fun," she declared, nudging the girl in the ribs. The two girls discussion of their father and sorting and lessons, curious. Obviously their situation was far from normal, but she had to wonder how their father hadn't had time to tell them about the school. He must not've been around... which begged the question, why was he now? But, whatever, now wasn't the time. There were much more pertinent discussions to be had.
spaceShe followed the two girls into the boat, suppressing a snicker at Minnie's incorrect name for one of the houses. "Hufflepuff," she corrected with a grin. "The others are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Hufflepuff's black and yellow, and their animal's a badger. Gryffindor's red and gold lions, Ravenclaw is blue and bronze eagles, and Slytherin is green and silver snakes." She shrugged, grinning. "The sorting's kinda based on your personality, but it's really complicated. And anyway, all that really matters is that it's where you sleep." Personally, Jazzy was actually dying to know which house she'd end up in. But, she didn't think any of them were better than the others. And anyway, she had to look cool and aloof. Or, well. So she hadn't seemed all that aloof that day. She still thought she was doing pretty good on the cool bit, though.

Cy and Kai, it could almost be an indie band! "I'm Annie. My full name is Anna-Marie but I usually go by Annie, or Anne, or even Marie." she explained telling probably way too much than she was supposed to when first introducing herself. But who cared about that, she was making friends! "Sooo, customary question slash remark on which house you'll be in! I honestly have no care but I'm sorta doubtful on Ravenclaw. I like to read but it's not my life and I've got as much creativity as a coloring book." the brown-skinned girl said with another giggle. She had heard other kids asking the question around and thought it was some sort of introductory question before you got to the hard stuff like "are you in a religious cult" or "what sort of genetic make up do you have to get such odd coloured hair?" Assuming those types of questions weren't rude, which she didn't think so. They were just questions for curiosity sake! Honestly. She'd give them the question about cults but c'mon, there were two girls with purple hair! And she couldn't even get streaks before she was fifteen! Thinking of that made her think of the argument she had had with her mother about that which, of course, lead her to thinking of her parents which made her feel a tad melancholy. Annie had always imagined being sent off to school with both her parents cheering her on and telling her not to climb the castle walls. She gave a soft sigh and gave herself an inward slap to snap out of it and perked back up waiting for the boy's answers and reactions. ┗━━━━━☆━━━━━┛ ☯Wearing

"I'd like that," Hannah said sweetly, about being able to meet for breakfast, "and we're going to be in the same classes, so we can probably sit together, unless the teachers have some stooopid seating chart." She rolled her violet eyes when she offered her assessment of seating charts and their usefulness.
"No, I don't think there's any bad Houses, but I guess the rivalries get pretty bad, you know like Arsenal versus Manchester United bad," Hannah replied, using the well-known rivalry between two football clubs as an analogy. She really didn't follow football, Hannah was much more interested in quidditch. "I've heard the quidditch matches here get pretty intense. I can't wait to try out for one of the teams."
When asked about what was inside Hogwarts castle, Hannah nodded, and offered, "Yeah, Linny told me to pack extra sweaters in my trunk. The castle has all kinds of hidden places, there's even a dungeon under the lake. I also heard there's a place called 'the Forbidden Forest', which we have to check out. Of course, it's probably only 'forbidden' for younger students."

As if their whole situation at the train station wasn't bad enough, Kyson soon found himself in a boat with the white haired girl from before. He watched her as she sat down. Well, it couldn't get any more awkward than it was now. The tension in the air between him, her, and the purple haired girl was getting thicker by the second. At some point, someone had to say something, right? Make conversation? Or they could sit in silence for the whole ride, which would be better in his opinion. However, the silence was broken by the white haired girl introducing herself, followed by the purple haired girl doing the same. Emma and Contessa were their names, respectively. Well, if he was going to be seeing them practically every day for the next seven years, he might as well tell them his name. "Kyson," he said with a huff. It was a name they should remember too. No matter how much he loathed his sister, he did share the idea that he was going to be very important one day. Maybe not famous, like Tori went on and on about, but he knew he would be important in some way. "So... What house do you think you're going to get?" he asked. Honestly, he figured he'd be a Slytherin. He wasn't happy-go-lucky like his mother. He wasn't courageous like his father, or however his sister got Gryffindor. He wasn't stupid, so he could get Ravenclaw, but he wasn't exceedingly brilliant either. So, that let him stuck in Slytherin. That would be fine, though. Hopefully, everyone else in his house would stick to themselves and leave him alone, unless he found someone he didn't hate. The odds of that happening, though, were slim to none.
